Hanford Flyover is a real treat of a band for me. Female vocals, great progressive/psychedelic sensibilities, and they can go heavy when they need to. Rich, deep songwriting shows that they do their musical homework.

A new Alice Cooper album is in the works but no clue if it will be released any time soon.


Girlschool have a new album out on July 28th called WTFortyFive with guests appearances from Duff Mckagan, Phil Campbell and Biff Byford. It's their 45th anniversary record.

A new Alice Cooper album is in the works but no clue if it will be released any time soon.

Also, it was announced today that 2 Alice Cooper (Group) albums will be re-released on June 9, 2023.  Killer and School's Out will be 3 LP and 2 CD releases, each including a different live concert from 1972.  Both releases will also feature several additional bonus tracks as well as the original packaging.

That sounds tasty! Killer is my all time favorite AC album, and ranks up there among my favorites across the board.

I saw that as well...Might go for the Killer 2cd set as I absolutely adore that album!


The new album is going to be called ROAD and it'll feature the live band (for the first time) and it'll be about the life on the road from Alice's point of view.
No release date yet but he did say it'll come out "Very soon" so might be a bit of a surprise release.

Got 'em both on pre-order. Was just going to pick up Killer, but you know how it goes. I have a bunch of different LPs arriving over the next couple of weeks, I think it's time I wound that down before my wife kills me.

Killer has always been one of my favourite AC albums since practically my 1st listen.  I plan on buying the 2 CD re-releases of both Killer and SO.

Darkadelic just dropped, and it's off to a great start on my speakers.

[Zzzptm]

My favorite tracks from Darkadelic so far are rockers Follow Me and Motorcycle Man, but also the haunting conclusion Roderick. Strong album, will spin again.

Angela Tini and Mozzy Dee albums dropped today, so I'll be playing them through - today is retro day for me!

[KiloDeltaCharlie]

Only listened to Darkadelic once so far. While I don't have favourites yet, I did notice it had simpler songs, a less gothic feel and while not particularly punky it seems very much a throwback to earlier albums.

[Zzzptm]

Definitely not as goth-y as it could have been, but I think it's got enough to have a good flavour throughout.

Throw away the remaster tracks, this one's for the REMIXES. Yes, I've been spamming up the boards with this release, but I believe I am justified, given their quality and how there are subtle differences in them - little extra bits that made their way to the cutting room floor when the original was released. A few are forgivable glitches, the flaws that let you better appreciate the diamond's surrounding beauty, but others seem like they were edits made for time/content/whatever and having them back in the tracks makes them deeper, richer, and just able to take the material to an entirely new level.

As I type this, I'm playing the amazing Iommi solo from Heaven and Hell and getting those goosebumps again. It's like the music has been set free, like it was a genie shoved into a lamp 40 years ago and we just now got the right person to give it a rub and unleash it. I'm positively stunned at the quality and put it on the level of Made in Japan for what it's capable of doing. The original release was one of my least favorite live albums due to the terrible sound. The remixes fix all that and more. They're magical, trasmutative, soaring and mighty.

I want to go back in time and tell the me of 1983 not to worry, it all gets better in 40 years. Tell myself the magic is still there when my hair is gray, these tracks will get me to pick up that air guitar again and jam out.

So I guess  I need to buy this too then!

The cheapest cd version I found was actually a small local record store in Finland with price of 89€...

Amazon is selling it for 73€ including postage and tax...but it comes from the US so it'll take some time and might also be subject to added customs fees eventhough it says that it won't on the page but that means nothing nowadays.

I'm having a bigger pay day this month so I guess I know where a chunk of that is going!

[Jack the Stripper]

Both the cd set and vinyl will come down in price in time by a fair bit if you can be patient. Mine is halfway across the pacific. I paid $171 AD for mine which I think is a reasonable price given the retail stores here are selling it for between $240 & $260. All these super deluxe boxsets have been discounted in time.

When you get it, make sure your listening room is good to go. Awesomeness will happen with those remixed tracks. I am loving it.
